Sleazy Peek: Closed Paradise - Praise (FINA)

FINA has been in the finest of forms lately, with class stuff from Ponty Mython and perennial Sleazy favourite Saine dropping a pearl of an EP in the first half of the year. Now FINA welcomes Closed Paradise to the fold, who really knocks it out of the park with 'Praise'. My my, I knew our pal from Montpellier had a knack for a deep and driving tackle, but he really outdid himself here. A subtle, intricate and undulating groove that brings Ben La Desh's best work to mind, fingersnaps/claps that would do Charles Webster proud, some smooth synth lines and a breakdown of Behemothic proportions make for an epic 6 minute ride. Play. Repeat. All summer long.

Out mid-July on 12" with two electro-tinged cuts on the flip, go seek!

Harry Wolfman is an artist who's productions just seem to be getting better and better. Now, don't misunderstand me here, I've been a fan of Harry's for some time and his past releases such as that one on Dirt Crew with Loz Goddard back at the start of 2016 are still up there with the favourites in my collection. Since then though, we've been treated to tracks such as Casillero, Y'Sul's Ball and Floozy*, with each offering increasing amounts of depth and personality whilst showcasing more than just a splattering of Harry's disco influences. (*This was one of the tracks of 2017, in case you didn't know already).
It seems like I'm not the only one who's noticed and, as a result, his latest EP will grace the ever-illustrious Outplay catalogue. Daniel and Hans' record of releasing only the finest wax on their imprint is nothing short of sublime and, with this 4-tracker from Wolfman, this trend only continues.
I could have happily covered any…

I personally love Whiskey Disco very much, bringing some solid heat every release! Also this time we could be happy with usual expectations, Midnight City head oncho Vincenzo De Bull delivered this 4-tracks baby that will hit stores this friday 5th October! Here at Sleazy B towers we had our peek with “Champ 1”, that kind of affair could flip the dancefloor on a lazy beginning. Had few words with Vincenzo about his sample choice that has a story many of us had already: when you came across an original song containing it and thoughts come back from the past about a record you loved, featuring the same sample: “Faaack I had to do something with it!” he said. Track builds tension very well keeping original’s swing but turning electric as well.

We spread our love to Whiskey Disco imprint as back in the days, grab your copy folks!

About a year ago, the Hi-Hat Appreciation Society released a delicious V/A as a way of thanking the 1000 fellow appreciators that they'd amassed on their Soundcloud page. Now, 12 months and another 1000 follows later, they're back with a release that's even bigger and even better than the last.

With no less than 21 contributors from the likes of head curator Sune, fellow Swede Ari Bald, Moff & Tarkin and André Sebastian, it's quite the release. For this Peek we've chosen the very first track of the lot (out of love, not laziness), entitled 'You Are The One' and coming from Mexico-based Hotmood.

Hotmood is a production machine, with five solo releases last year and three already in 2018 - the latest of which being the wonderfulDiscotheque Dependencies EP on Whiskey Pickle, which is one of my most played slabs of wax so far this year. 'Quality over quantity' is the age-old cliché, but it's safe to say that Hotmood has no problem delivering on…
